  Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, the Example and its description which this invention illustrates are not for limiting this invention. In order that those skilled in the art can easily understand the principles and embodiments of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention have been described by taking a channel state information feedback method of a CoMP transmission system as an example. The present invention is not limited to the system described above, but can be applied to other systems related to feedback of channel state information.

  At present, in LTE Rel. 10, periodic and aperiodic feedback methods are used to provide different granularity feedback information for user equipment and improve system performance. Of these, the aperiodic feedback method has the advantages of a large capacity and a small time delay, and therefore can meet the need for CoMP feedback. Therefore, in the present embodiment, an example will be described in which CSI information under different transmission points and interference assumptions is fed back by an aperiodic trigger in a CoMP transmission scenario.

  In this embodiment, the base station can trigger non-periodic CSI feedback by dynamic control information (DCI). Corresponding to CoMP transmission mode, when triggering in common search space, adopt 1-bit request field in DCI format 0 or DCI format 4 to trigger aperiodic CSI feedback Alternatively, when triggering in the user search space, a 2-bit CSI request field in DCI format 0 or DCI format 4 may be employed to trigger aperiodic CSI feedback.

In this embodiment, the aperiodic feedback during CoMP transmission may include one or more channel state information, of which each channel state information CSI includes the following information: rank indication (RI, Rank Indication) information, pre-encoding matrix indication (PMI, Precoding Matrix Indication) information, and channel quality indication (CQI, Channel Quality Indication) information. Among them, RI / PMI / CQI can adopt a plurality of different combinations due to different feedback modes. For example, as shown in Table 1, when PMI / CQI is discarded, the user equipment adopts mode 2-0 and feeds back wideband CQI, user-selected subband CQI information, and subband indication information. The user equipment may adopt mode 3-0 to feed back the wideband CQI and the subband CQI information of the upper layer configuration, and this type of configuration is used for the CoMP user equipment in the TDD system. Suitable for non-periodic feedback needs. When the PMI / RI is not discarded, the user equipment adopts mode 1-2 to feed back RI information, wideband CQI, and subband PMI information; or adopts mode 2-2, Feed back RI information, wideband CQI, and user-selected subband differential CQI information, subband selection indicator (ID) information, and wideband pre-encoding information; or adopt mode 3-1, RI information, Wideband CQI, subband CQI, and wideband PMI information are fed back.

  On the network side, for example, if the macro base station configures one non-zero-power CSI-RS resource and an interference measurement resource for each CSI, the user equipment performs CSI using these resources. The CSI can be measured and reported upstream. In CoMP transmission, it is necessary to uplink report a plurality of CSI information corresponding to a plurality of transmission points (TP) and interference assumptions. Among them, a plurality of CSI information may be multiplexed and transmitted on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

  At present, the user equipment is limited by the actual processing capacity, so the CSI to be fed back is also limited. In the present embodiment, the CSI information is fed back to the network side in a bit field in a bit field with respect to one or more CSI information. In this way, the above-mentioned problems existing so far can be solved and applied not only to CoMP scenarios, but also to multicarrier scenarios and aperiodic CSI information in a common space. It can also be applied to scenarios that trigger uplink reporting. Of these, depending on the actual situation, the UE feedback reception point may be a macro base station on the network side or all base stations on the network side. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, taking aperiodic feedback as an example.

  FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a channel state information feedback method in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes the following steps.

  Step 101: The user apparatus UE receives instruction information of CSI information that is transmitted from the network side and that is fed back aperiodically.

  In this embodiment, the network side can instruct CSI information to be fed back aperiodically by DCI, and there is one or more CSI information to be fed back.

  In this embodiment, the macro base station on the network side or all base stations can all trigger aperiodic feedback. When there is one piece of CSI information to be fed back, the conventional Rel. 8 method can be adopted, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted here. Hereinafter, a case where one or more CSI information is fed back will be described.

  Step 102: Based on the instruction information, the UE feeds back the CSI information to the network side in a bit-field manner for one or more CSI information in a bit field.

  In this example, if aperiodic feedback is triggered according to a transmission point or a non-zero power CSI-RS resource, the user equipment supports multiple different interference assumptions in the aperiodic CSI set. If the aperiodic feedback is triggered according to the CSI information, the user equipment needs to uplink the corresponding CSI information. The above-described embodiment provides a method for realizing feedback of multiple CSI information during CoMP transmission. This allows feedback of multiple CSI information to the network without being limited by the processing capability of the user equipment. can do.

  In the present embodiment, step 102 employs a plurality of methods, and rank indication (RI) information, pre-encoding matrix indication (PMI) information, and / or channel quality indication (CQI) in the channel state information. ) Independent cascade connection in the bit field of information can be realized. Hereinafter, each will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart for feeding back CSI information according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes the following steps.

  Step 200: Since it is similar to Step 101, its detailed description is omitted here.

  Step 201: Arrange one or more CSI information in the source bit field.

  In this embodiment, one or more CSI information that needs to be fed back can be grasped based on the instruction information for instructing aperiodic feedback, and thus the CSI information that needs to be fed back. Can be arranged in a certain order in the source bit field.

  Among them, the RI information and the PMI / CQI information are respectively connected in cascade in the bit field.

  Step 202: Perform a corresponding process on the one or more CSI information after arrangement, perform mapping to a corresponding resource, and transmit to the network side.

  In this embodiment, different CSI information, for example, RI information and PMI / CQI information, respectively, adopt different encoding and mapping methods, and thus satisfy the performance requirements of RI and CQI / PMI. it can. The processing and mapping process is similar to the prior art. In this way, the standardization work can be reduced. Hereinafter, an example will be described.

  For example, for RI information, the block encoding in Rel.8 is adopted when the total number of bits after arrangement is 2 or less; when the number of bits is less than 12 and greater than 2, RM (Reed of (32, O) -Muller) encoding; when the number of bits is greater than 11, (32, O) bi-RM (Reed-Muller) encoding may be used. The encoded information obtains the necessary number of bits by adopting a cyclic shift. At the time of mapping, as shown in FIG. 3A, the RI information is mapped to four OFDM symbols close to DM-RS, that is, predetermined four OFDM symbols (for example, when the RI information is normal CP (1, 4, 7, 10) and according to extended CP (mapped to (0,3,5,8)), "first in time domain, then frequency domain (in reverse order on frequency domain)" Mapping in the order of. Since the encoding and mapping process is similar to that of the prior art, detailed description thereof is omitted here. In this way, the performance with which they can be estimated can be ensured and the transmission reliability can be improved.

  For example, for PMI / CQI information, (32, O) RM (Reed-Muller) encoding is used when the number of bits is 11 bits or less; when the number of bits is greater than 11 bits, After adding CRC, tail-biting CC (Tail-Biting Convolutional Coding (Encoding)) is adopted. The encoded information obtains the necessary number of bits by adopting a cyclic shift. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3A, multiplexing and interleaving (interleaving) are performed on CQI / PMI information and PUSCH information (uplink data), and mapping is performed after the interleaving, When mapping, perform punching for resources occupied by RI information and ACK / NACK; when mapping uplink data symbols to physical resources, first map PMI / CQI information, then the remaining resources Uplink data mapping is performed above.

  In this embodiment, when RI information and PMI / CQI information are included in one or more CSI information, cascade connection is performed in the bit field for each of the RI information and PMI / CQI information, Process and map independently.

  As can be seen from the above embodiments, a plurality of CSI information feedback methods are provided during CoMP transmission. Under CoMP transmission mode, the source bit field is first sorted (also referred to as (Sort) array) for multiple CSI information, and then the corresponding encoding is performed based on the number of bits after sorting. And then mapping to the corresponding resource, thus feeding back the plurality of CSI information.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart for feeding back CSI information according to the third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the method includes the following steps.

  Step 400: Since it is similar to Step 101, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  Step 401: Encode each of one or more CSI information.

  In this embodiment, first, each CSI information in one or more CSI information is encoded, each RI information or PMI / CQI information is encoded, and the encoding method to be adopted is Since it is similar to Example 2, its detailed description is omitted here.

  Step 402: Arrange one or more post-encoding CSI information in a bit field.

  In the present embodiment, as in the second embodiment, sorting is performed on RI information and PMI / CQI information, respectively.

  Step 403: The one or more sorted CSI information is mapped to a corresponding resource and transmitted to the network side.

  In the present embodiment, similarly to the second embodiment, mapping is performed on RI information and PMI / CQI information, respectively, and the mapping process is similar to that of the second embodiment, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted here. .

  As can be seen from the above-described embodiment, under the CoMP transmission mode, each CSI information in the plurality of CSI information is first encoded, then sorted in the bit field, and then corresponding to it. It is possible to map to resources and thus feed back the plurality of CSI information.

  In the above-described embodiment, when sorting is performed in step 201 and step 402, sorting (rearrangement) may be performed in an arbitrary order. Further, sorting may be performed by the following method.

  1) When aperiodic feedback is triggered according to transmission points or non-zero power CSI-RS resources, when feeding back CSI information corresponding to multiple interference assumptions in the CSI information set, in a fixed order Sort.

  For example, first, sorting is performed in the order in which channel state information corresponding to non-zero power CSI-RS resources in the CSI information set is fed back.

  Thereafter, sorting is performed in the order of predetermined interference assumptions corresponding to each non-zero power CSI-RS resource, that is, sorting is performed in the order of feeding back the corresponding interference assumptions in the CSI information set. Taking three transmission points and two interference sources as an example, the fixed order is (interference open (open), interference open), (interference open, interference close (close)), (interference close, interference open), ( (Interference close, interference close)). Of course, this is only an example and may be in another order.

  As another implementation, this predetermined order of interference may be obtained by a higher layer configuration. For example, when a base station configures a CSI set to be fed back aperiodically, it has one configuration order for CSIs with different interference assumptions in the same non-zero power CSI-RS. This configuration order may be a cascade connection order. In other words, the feedback information corresponding to the previously configured CSI is placed in front, and the later configured CSI information is placed after.

  2) When aperiodic feedback is triggered according to CSI information, the user equipment needs to report the corresponding CSI information and sort in the order of the configured CSI information.

  In this embodiment, when two or two or more pieces of the same information exist in one or more CSI information, it is only necessary to hold one of the information, thus saving resources. .

  The methods described in the above embodiments can be used for single carrier scenarios. When feeding back CSI information on a multicarrier, the following method may be adopted.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart for feeding back CSI information according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the method includes the following steps.

  Step 500: The user apparatus UE receives instruction information of CSI information that is transmitted from the network side and is fed back aperiodically.

  In this embodiment, the network side may instruct CSI information to be aperiodically fed back by DCI. Under the multi-carrier scenario, the CSI information instructed by the instruction information and needs to be fed back is CSI information for feedback on different carriers, and CSI information for feedback under different transmission points and interference assumptions on the same carrier.

  Step 501: Cascade connection is made to one or more CSI information under the corresponding transmission point and interference assumption for each cell, respectively.

  In the present embodiment, when cascade connection is made to each cell, the methods described in the second embodiment and the third embodiment can be adopted, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  Step 502: Cascade connection is performed for CSI information of all cells requiring channel state information feedback.

  In the present embodiment, the CSI information of all the cells is arranged in the order of cell indicators (ID) from small to large, or from large to small.

  Step 503: Corresponding processing is performed on CSI information of all cells after cascade connection, mapping to corresponding resources is performed, and feedback to the network side is performed.

  Since this embodiment is similar to the processing and mapping method of Embodiments 2 and 3, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  In the above-described embodiment, first, for each carrier, cascade connection is performed in a possible CSI set during CoMP transmission, and then, for all carriers, cascade connection is performed.

  In another embodiment, first, cascade connection (rearrangement of bits) is performed in the carrier area, and then, for each carrier, cascade connection is performed in a possible CSI set during CoMP transmission. The specific process is as follows.

  Cascade connection is made for channel status information of all cells requiring feedback of channel status information (arrayed for CSI information of all cells in order from cell small to large or from large to small) In each case, cascade connection is performed for one or more pieces of channel state information for feedback of each cell (the methods of Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 3 can be adopted); Channel state information after cascade connection Are mapped to corresponding resources and fed back to the network side.

  FIG. 3B is an example of one CoMP system. In the case of the combination of CoMP and CA, the cascade connection of one-stage carrier area is increased compared to FIG. 3A. Among them, FIG. 3B does not explain the cascade connection before and after encoding, but describes a sort order of sorting. Of these, the symbols “11” and “12” indicate the first CSI information and the second information of the first carrier, and the symbols “21” and “22” indicate the second carrier information. One CSI information and second CSI information are shown.

  As can be seen from the above-described embodiments, the above-described method can solve the feedback problem of CSI information under the combined scenario of multi-carrier and CoMP transmission, and by the combination of CoMP transmission and carrier aggregation technology, The user transmission rate can be improved.

  When the user equipment triggers a non-periodic CSI information uplink report in a common space, it can adopt the Rel.8 transmission method when only the single cell CSI information uplink report is triggered. There is no need to adopt the example method.

  Further, in order to obtain a good compromise between feedback overhead and system performance, the user apparatus may perform selection (selection) on a CSI information set that is configured by the base station and is to be uplinked aperiodically. it can.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a method for feeding back channel state information according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, the method includes the following steps.

  Step 600: Receive indication information of CSI information sent from the network side and fed back aperiodically.

  Step 601: One CSI information to be fed back to the network side is selected from the CSI information set to be fed back indicated by the instruction information.

  In this embodiment, the user apparatus may select one optimum CSI information from the CSI information set based on the instruction information, for example, the CSI having the maximum transmission information amount.

  Step 602: Send the selected channel state information and signaling indicating the selected channel state information to the network side.

  In this embodiment, the signaling indicating the selected channel state information may be located after the pre-encoding matrix indication information and / or the channel quality indication information in the selected channel state information, Base signaling.

Of these, the number of bits is log ₂ ^N , where N is the maximum number of bits, and the value of N is the number of configured non-zero power CSI-RSs, or a preconfigured aperiodically It matches the CSI number of CSI set that can be fed back.

  This kind of feedback method can be realized in a specific aperiodic feedback mode, for example, mode 2-2, but is not limited to such a mode.

  In this embodiment, in order to support backward compatibility in step 601, the user equipment can not only feed back one selected optimal CSI information, but also one single cell for backward compatibility. CSI information can also be fed back. Among them, the CSI information of the single cell for backward compatibility may be CSI information defined by the first non-zero CSI-RS, or the base station preconfigured for the user, aperiodic It may be the first CSI information in the CSI set that can be fed back to the CSI information. Alternatively, the single cell CSI information for supporting the backward compatibility may be a CSI that supports the backward compatibility and is configured directly by the upper layer. It may be determined by the resource. In the feedback process, the CQI feedback information portion in the optimal CSI information selected by the user is subjected to differential encoding with the CQI feedback information in the backward compatible CSI information, thereby reducing the feedback overhead. Further, in the CSI information to be fed back, one optimal CSI information selected by the user is arranged after the single cell CSI information for backward compatibility.

  As can be seen from the above-described embodiments, the CSI information that is fed back aperiodically can be fed back in a cascade connection manner in the bit field, and the joint transmission of CoMP and carrier is considered. It also provides a corresponding CSI feedback method. In addition, in order to obtain a compromise between feedback overhead and system performance gain, the user equipment selects the optimal CSI information in a selection scheme and also supports single backward CSI information to support backward compatibility. Can also be selected.

  It should be noted that the realization of all or some of the steps in the method of the above-described embodiment, which should be understood by those skilled in the art, may be completed by instructing the correlation hardware by a program. Such a program may be stored in a computer-readable storage medium, and when the program is executed, it may include all or some of the steps in the method of the above-described embodiment. RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk, etc. may be included.
